my blood sugars up to 223, I feel sooo stomach sick and weak. I really thought the pump would make these kinds of things easier lol… any tips on what i can do to prevent it from climbing… I checked ketones… they are negative
Jill, so sorry you’re ill. Not enough to feel sick to begin with, but dealing with the high BG makes it all the worse. All you can do is keep testing, drink lots of water & take corrections to help bring it down. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of insulin when we’re sick. I had something a few weeks ago. No matter what I did, I hovered at 200+ for most of the day. Thought I’d have a major hypo from all the extra insulin or that my insulin had expired. I kept testing every hour & drank loads of water until it started to come down. Glad for no ketones.
Don’t hesitate to call your doctor. Maybe you need antibiotics.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well!
Last week, I was not feeling well and I had to study. My numbers were high as well. I too, drank water and constantly tested my BG levels more than usual.
You should contact your medical professional to discuss your numbers. I called my doctor several times last week to help with the tweaking of my diabetes meds.
Hope you feel better soon!
